About Amanda
Amanda Webster is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing anxiety, stress, low mood and related challenges. She works with those dealing with trauma, addiction, parenting strain and identity issues, including LGBT concerns and neurodivergence such as ADHD and autism. Amanda draws on a range of practical strategies to help people manage day-to-day overwhelm and build steady routines.
Her style is straightforward and warm. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps that fit into busy lives.
Background and approach
She encourages short practices you can use between meetings, like breathing breaks, gentle movement and task breaking to reduce overload. Amanda uses several recognised therapy approaches to match what each person needs. She often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral techniques with attachment-aware work to address patterns that keep people stuck.
The aim is to increase choices and reduce distress rather than just label problems. With four years of experience and NCPS on her record, Amanda works with a broad range of concerns from grief and relationship strain to sleep and eating difficulties. She also supports those facing carer stress, chronic illness and identity-related stressors.
Practical beginnings matter to her. Early sessions look at what feels most urgent and what small changes could help right away. Over time, conversations move toward longer-term goals such as improved self-esteem, steadier mood and better daily routines.
How therapy approaches work online
Amanda commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working online. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can help reduce the power of anxiety and avoidance. CBT focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amanda treats this as a team effort - she will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that suit you. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets you have a face-to-face experience without travel, phone gives a lower-bandwidth option, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family or health routines, and to keep momentum between meetings.
